To some, deciding on the best iPad for kids can be challenging, especially with Apple continuously rolls out new generations at every twist and turn.

Obtaining an Android tablet for kids can be an easy affair if you know where to look.

From the latest Google tablet to the ever-loved Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids, there are more than plenty of options.

But for those who want an Apple iPad and nothing else, then things can start to get tricky, especially if you're on a budget.

So, before we dive any deeper, let's see what you should look for when searching for your little one's perfect device.

Here are some things you should consider:

• Size of Your Apple Tablets: If your child loves playing games on their tablet on the go, it's important to choose one that's small and light enough to carry in their little hands.

  
  

  Don't worry, though! We recommend exploring the iPad Mini option if this is your biggest concern.

• Storage Room: Most kids can be little shutterbugs who love to take photos no matter the occasion.

  
  

  That is why you should select a tablet with ample storage room for those much-loved photos. A capacity ranging between 64GB and 256GB is more than enough for everyday use.

• Its Everyday Use: Does your child fall below the age of 10, or are they older and preparing for their GCSEs? 

  
  

  For the latter group, you have a whole new range of options available, like the iPad Pro, which offers excellent features suitable for educational tasks.

• Durability: Last but not least is durability. An inexpensive Apple iPad should suffice for kids constantly on the move.

  
  

  If the laptop remains on the desk, however, you might want to explore pricier options.

Also, remember that nearly all Apple iPads also has Parental Controls for online safety, so don't worry if the iPad comes with Wi Fi + Cellular; either way, you'll have full control nearly every step of the way.
